A real treat!!! Oh my word. Steps away from our hotel was a little patisserie with a line out the door. As we had been traveling all day just to get to Paris for a quick trip, we were famished for something Parisian, ideally bread! In no way did this disappoint. The two women behind the counter, pleasant and accommodating, even smiling!
Financier Chocolat - 2.50 EUROS
Cute square shaped moist brown butter tea cake with rich milk chocolate creamy filling. Perfection.
Pain au Chocolat
Flaky with perfect crumb (holes from the gas between flaky laminated dough layers) and a smidge of chocolate inside. European buttery at its finest. You can't get this in the states.
Baguette
There is something about getting baguette in France! Warm and thin crispy outside with tender and fluffy crumb inside, and the flavor has the right amount of fermentation and texture is proofed perfectly. Excellente. They serve it in a partial piece of square liner so you can just bite the head off and enjoy while walking down the street. read more
